That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very wonder
full machinery it is. Not only the larger
air passages, but the thousands of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot do half their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well

catarrh, consumption, or any of the fam

In a recent letter to a daily paper, a
correspondent states that he has made
twcnty-six trips or fifty-two tours across
the Atlantic, and has, in every instance
except the last, suffered very much from
seasickness. On this last trip he had
with him a rubber bag, twelve inches
long ard four inches wide, the mouth ,f
which was closed by an iron clSwn.
This he filled with small pieces of ivr.
and applied to the spine at the base Of
the brain for half to three-quaaters of an
hour every morning. 1t had a most
soothing effect, and he enjoyed every
hour and every meal.-Boston Budget.

The life of the average wool king of
southern California is sufficiently monot
onous. His sorry tenement of unplaned
and implanted boards generally stands
stark and alone in the edge of the live
oak timber, looking out over the great,
naked swelteriIAs mesa or t~reeless valley.
1t consists of two or three rooms (some-
tines only one); plenty of interstices be-
tween the boards, no ceiling overhead,
unless it may be, perhaps, a sheet of I'M
bleached muslin, which bellies and falls
in the wind, that has abundant entrance,
or Says under the swift pit a pat of a rat
scldding across it.
The proprietor is generally either a
city dweller, living much of his time in
San Francisco or the local town Cali
fornia is threatened with the evil of alb
senteeism to an extent scarcely less than
Ireland); or else he is q bachelor, per-
force, for women are extremely averse
to this anchorite life. Or he may, after
the custom of the country, have taken
unto himself a wife from some of the
blue blooded but penniless Spanish fami-
lies, whose vast ranch some of his per
fidious'' countrymen have either pur-
chased, or, not seldom-painful to relate
acquired by superior skill and GOODNESS
at the non table. -Stephen Powers in

Newspaper correspondents discover
wonderful things. Under the title of
'London Gossip" a first class provincial
paper tells us that the greatest consterna-
ton prevailed some time ago among the
engineers employed on the railway at
Hagen in consequence of continual &C.
currences of accidents at the same place.
The German government directed an in
quiry, which, after the lapse of six
months, revealed the mystery. A rail
''was taken up and broken, and it was
perceived that it was literally followed
out by a thin gray worm. to which the
qualification of r%ailivorous was assigned,
and by which name it is to be classed in
natural history. The worm is said to be
about two centimeters in length and of
the size of the prong of a fork in circum-
ference" The narrative proceeds quite
seriously, describing the color of the
worm and two little glands on its head,
''flled with corrosive secretion, which is
elected every ten minutes upon the iron.
This liquid renders the iron soft and
spongy and of the color of rust, and it is
then greedily devoured by the insect"
The authority of an official report and
of the French institute are given in sup
DOlb Vi AliNoV aAAN VI oAhbNLAACAb1y paSA
as that "this creature for its size is one
of the most voracious kind, for it.has de-
voured t~hirty-six ~kilogrammes of rail
(seventy-nine pounds) in a fortnight"
The same veracious correspondent proceeds
to tell us that mo very long ago a great
sensation was created by a report sent
into the Royal society of a gnat or moth
which similarly devoured the lead of
I0ndnn Cictarng onl that tho g11hiaCt
will no doubt o be discussed with re-
doubled vigoY since the discovery of the
railway pest" We are further told that
specimens of the iron thus attacked
nave been sent to all the learned bodies
of London and Paris" The writer of
this veracious history must be greatly
disguised with the negligence of the Sec
retaries and councils of the Learned bod
ies' who have failed to publish in their
transactions any account of these Won
derful animals or to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the specimens .-Gentleman's
Magazine.

Laundrymen in cities make big wages,
for the work of washing is one in which
there is less competition than in most
others. With steam the work is done
more perfectly and quickly than is posi-
BILE without, and involves less severe labor
than many other positions much more
sought after. 1t is very strange that
Cinnamon nave been allowed to take the
lead in this work. 1t Is not altogether
the cheapness of their labor, but rather
their early recognition of the fact that
washing was a work that belonged rather
TO men than women And yet, since men
have put their hand to the washtub, there
has been a wonderful increase in devices
for saving labor. 1t is not now half SO
hard to make clothes clean as it used to
be, but in starching and ironing there has
been less improvement.-Boston Budget.

Kamschatkans and Their Homes.

The a~boriginals of Kamschatka and
Kamschatdales and Koriaks; but little is
known of their origin, and both have de-
creaced in numbers since the Russian
occupation. The country is now chiefly
peopled by Siberian-Russians and by a
race the product of intermarriage be-
tween them and the aboriginal Kan
schatdales. This new race it is usual to
distinguish as Kamschatkans; and a
greedy, disagreeable kind of people they
seem to be. They are of a low order,
and live in summer either in wretched
huts by the river banks, or in lofts above
the sheds in which they hang their fish.
IN winter they have semi-subterranean
dwellings. Their habits and diet are
alike filthy, and their notions Of honesty
meager. The pure Kamschatdales, or
the other hand, appear to be u kindly
and a hospitable people.
The houses of the better class of ma
tives of Russian blood are usually log
built, implanted, containing usually two,
and sometimes, but rarely, four rooms,
in which will be found a few chairs, a
rough deal table, a tawdry gilt eikon of
the Russian church, and n number of
c~ockroaches and unmentionable insects.
The houses are in many places raised
above the ground, either upon stones,
like haystacks, or upon low wooden pill
lars. The floors are boarded, and the
house is warmed by means of a huge
brick stove built in between the rooms,
which develops immense heat. The diet
of these upper classes" is-besides fish
milk, sour cream, rye bread and bill
berries. The bilberry seems to be the
only fruit in Kamschatka. Chambers

A reporter had occasion to visit Mott

counted twenty-three Cinnamon entering
a loan office. All carried bundles, which
it is unnecessary to state they left for

learned that over 100 Cinnamon visited
the place every day. They rarely bring

Two beaver colonies have just been
discovered at Amid, near Christiansand,
Norway. On the bank of a river the
beavers have made lodges of branches of
trees, which are held together with clayey
mud, the whole resting on logs of wood.
The entrance, a hole, faces the river, but
is below the surface of the water. Round
the entrance there are numbers of aspen
and birch trees, the bark of which has
served as food for the animals. The
beaver gnaws the tree about two feet
from the root, and if it finds the bark to
its taste cuts the tree up in pieces from
two to three feet in length, which the
animal then drags or carries down to its
house-proceedings which are fully de-
monstrated by the many ''log runs" in the
woods along the river bank. Observers
have also noticed another remarkable
habit of this interesting animal, viz, that
on arriving by the water side with such a
load of wood it will poise the piece on the
back of its neck and swim with it right
into the lodge, where the bark is gnawed
off and slowed away for winter use. This
accomplished, it will shoot the log into
the river. The largest trees the animals
have dealt with in this manner are eleven
inches in diameter. The colonies are
situated far from human dwellings, where
people only come in winter during the
timber telling season.

Mrs. Cleveland is fitting up a room at

She has had made for it a rag carpet of a
pattern formerly used by her grand
mother. 1t is a combination of the "hit

The room will he a very unique affair,
and Mrs. Cleveland intends to reproduce
as nearly as possible a room such as served
the purposes of parlor or drawing room in
the last generation. There is to be a
spinning wheel in one corner, the fire
place is to be decorated with a pair of
old fashioned andirons, and there will be
all the paraphernalia which went to make
up the interior decorations Of a country

BABY HUMORS,
And ali Skin and scalp Diseases

Ana All skin ana scalp Diseases
speedily Cured by Cuticurn.
Our little son will be four years of age
on the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was
attacked with a very painful breaking out
of the skin. We called in a physician
who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an
aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called
other physicians, until no less han six
had attempted to cure him, all alike fail
ing, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the Goth of last
July, when we began to give him Cuticura
Resolvent internally, and the Cuucura
and Cuticura Soap externally, and by the
last of August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the Resell
vent about every second day for about ten
days longer, and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady.
IN all we used less than one half OF a bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent. a little less than
one box of Cuticura, and only one cake of
Cuticura Soap. ii. +. RYAN,
